Re: Does anyone ever boil eggs in the kettle?
When I was a teenager living on my own in a rented flat I did this thinking it to be a simple and easy way to boil an egg. And yes it worked a treat.Only later on did I realise that eggs are covered in hen shit and old bit's of feathers and god knows what nasty bacteria. Obviously the boiling water should kill off any nasties but it's really not a good idea to keep putting them in a kettle that you would also use to boil your water.
Grab a cheap £5 kettle by all means to use ONLY for boiling eggs imo

Never heard of that Ffosse. Does the kettle boil long enough to cook an egg or do you have to jam the switch down?

It's a revelation that’s bound to have you regretting every cup of tea you’ve ever had in a hotel room; the act of underwear-boiling is apparently a practice that exists.
